30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007 Basic Figure List
« on: January 23, 2007, 04:11 PM »
The sheer number of EU figures on that list gives me a headache...  :-\


Wave 6 Looks like a TESB Wave
__ Han Solo - Hoth, Hasbro?  Pretty, pretty please?
__ Lando Calrissian - Smuggler? Pretty please?
__ Rebel Trooper - Hoth?
__ 4-LOM - Yes!
__ McQuarrie Series - Snowtrooper - No way!  Seriously?  I LOVE this concept.

If you believe Hasbro (no plans for Bespin in 2007), then I am inclined to believe that most likely is a Hoth Han and a Smuggler Lando perhaps.  I'm with you hoping that's the case.  Cool beans if it's a new Hoth Rebel Grunt too.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: The "Final 22"

Why do the etailers and retailers get different wave numbers on their cases anyway--I've noticed this with basic figure and titanium ship cases..the numbers are vastly different from etailers boxes from retailers boxes. :-\

Because the majority of the etailers call the Waves by the order they were released:

Wave 1 - Carkoon
Wave 2 - Hoth
Wave 3 - Geonosis
Wave 4 - Coruscant
Wave 5 - Tatooine
Wave 6 - Endor/Jedi
Wave 7 - Endor/Naboo/Tatooine
Wave 8 - Final 22, #53-62
Wave 9 - Final 22, #63-69
Wave 10 - Wal-Mart Exclusives #70-74

For some reason, Hasbro called the Geonosis wave Wave 2.5 on the boxes they sent to the retailers.  That screwed up the numbering making the case numbers off by 1...

Wave 1 - Carkoon
Wave 2 - Hoth
Wave 2.5 - Geonosis
Wave 3 - Coruscant
Wave 4 - Tatooine
Wave 5 - Endor/Jedi
Wave 6 - Endor/Naboo/Tatooine
Wave 7 - Final 22, #53-62
Wave 8 - Final 22, #63-69
Wave 9 - Wal-Mart Exclusives #70-74

It all comes down to Hasbro doing whatever it wants on the case numbers and the etailers just trying to find a way to help the average joe out by using a set of numbers that is easier to follow.

I would like to believe that, if someone really got a "tip" from the manufacturer or retailer than it's really not a rumor anymore is it? It IS being treated like a rumor, though..so color me skeptical.

Like Scotty said, until it is officially confirmed by Hasbro, you have to call it a rumor. 

Over the years many things have been cancelled by Hasbro despite us seeing early pictures of them.  This case is no different.  While our sources have seen things that lead me to post that info on the front page, there is always the chance that Hasbro will cancel things before they are released.

Like I said earlier, BBTS was expecting their Wave 9 last week.  Not only did they get their cases, but a few of the figures have been listed as IN STOCK for a few days now.

Add in what Nick said about ToyManiacs and it sure looks like the little guys are getting their fill of these now.

Perhaps the big store's goods are just stuck in the distribution centers until inventories are over?

Announcements / Re: New Staff Member Announcement

JediDefender is proud to announce the addition of Paul Mundheim to the crew.  Paul will be assisting with a random list of things (news reporting and moderating among other things), so I'm sure you'll see him around the front page and the forums a bit more.

We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the JediDefender team!   :)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: hyperspace is now the fan club

And... after soaking everyone for both Insider and Hyperspace for a few years, the experiment is over.

As of April 2007, Hyperspace becomes completely separate from the Insider.

As long as the Stormtroopers show up clean as promised by Hasbro, I'll still buy one.    :-\

I'm totally a sucker for "new" things like the repaint Stormies and new head RFTs.  BaaAaaa.    :-[

I am 98% sure that the Viper in the 2007 Wave 2 case is the same as the Classic Viper from 2006 Wave 15.

Also, the Battlestar there is Pegasus, not Galactica.  It is a new ship as far as I know.

Is that picture really an indication that there won't be a regular case full of these guys?

I'll put it this way:  there is no evidence that there won't be regular cases of these, but there is evidence (the pictures from overseas and eBay) that these will be coming in endcap display boxes.

Since they are a Wal-Mart exclusive, does it make sense for them to ship the same figures to Wal-Mart in two different ways?  I guess we'll see but I'm not holding my breath... :-\

According to Diamond/Previews, if you buy both the Jabba Set and the Rebo Set, there is a third Bib Fortuna statue that you will get for free...

"Collect both the Jabba's Palace Band statue and Jabba the Hutt statue and mail away for a free Bib Fortuna statue."
